Electronic device and gesture contol method for electronic device

Abstract

A control method is applied to an electronic device to control the electronic device by a user's gestures in real time. When the user's gestures change from a first predetermined gesture to a second predetermined gesture, the control method controls the electronic device to perform a corresponding function.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A control system applied to an electronic device for manipulating the electronic device, the electronic device comprising a plurality of applications to execute corresponding functions, the control system comprising:
 a capturing module to obtain a user's gesture in real time;   an analyzing module to determine whether the obtained gesture satisfy a predetermined condition that changes from a first predetermined gesture to a second predetermined gesture different from the first predetermined gesture, and generate a control instruction when the obtained gesture satisfies the predetermined condition; and   a control module to control the electronic device to perform a corresponding function in response to the control instruction.   
     
     
         2 . The control system of  claim 1 , wherein the first predetermined gesture is an open palm, and the predetermined second gesture is a half fist, the control module controls the electronic device to set parameters of the electronic device in response to the control instruction. 
     
     
         3 . The control system of  claim 2 , wherein the first predetermined gesture is a half fist, and the second predetermined gesture is a closed fist, the control module controls the electronic device to execute the corresponding function base on the set parameters. 
     
     
         4 . The control system of  claim 3 , wherein the first predetermined gesture is a closed fist, and the second predetermined gesture is an open palm, the control module controls the set parameters invalidate. 
     
     
         5 . The control system of  claim 1 , wherein the analyzing module is further configured to identifying whether the obtained gesture matches a predetermined activating gesture which is static, when the analyzing module determines that the obtained gesture matches the predetermined activating gesture, the analyzing module generates an activating instruction, the control module activates a corresponding application of the electronic device in response to the activating instruction. 
     
     
         6 . The control system of  claim 5 , wherein the analyzing module is further configured to identify whether the obtained gesture matches a predetermined exiting gesture which is dynamic, the analyzing module further generates exiting instruction, the control module cancels the set parameters. 
     
     
         7 . An electronic device, comprising:
 a plurality of applications to be executed to call corresponding functions;   a camera to capture an image of user's gestures in real time;   an analyzing module to analyze the image to determine whether the user's gesture satisfies a predetermined condition that a first predetermined gesture is changed to a second predetermined gesture accordingly, and generates a control instruction when the user's gesture satisfies the predetermined condition; and   a control module to control the corresponding application to perform the associated function in response to the control instruction.   
     
     
         8 . The electronic device of clam  7 , wherein the electronic device further comprises a storage module to store the predetermined executing gestures. 
     
     
         9 . The electronic device of  claim 7 , wherein the first predetermined gesture is an open palm, the predetermined second gesture is a half fist, the control module setting parameters for the associated function in response to the control instruction. 
     
     
         10 . The electronic device of  claim 7 , wherein the first predetermined gesture is a half fist, the second predetermined gesture is a closed fist, the control module controls control the associated function to be execute based on the set parameters. 
     
     
         11 . The electronic device of  claim 7 , wherein the first predetermined gesture is a fist, the second predetermined gesture is an open palm, the control module cancels the set parameters. 
     
     
         12 . A control method, being applied to an electronic device to manipulate the electronic device respond to gestures, the control method comprising steps of:
 obtaining a user's gestures in real time;   analyzing whether the obtained gestures match predetermined executing gestures when changing from a first predetermined gesture to a second predetermined gestures different from the first predetermined gestures according to predetermined condition; and   performing a corresponding function.   
     
     
         13 . The control method of  claim 12 , wherein the first predetermined gesture is an open palm, the predetermined second gesture is a half fist, the performed function is to set parameters of the electronic device 
     
     
         14 . The control method of  claim 12 , wherein the first predetermined gesture is a half fist, the second predetermined gesture is a closed fist, the performed function is to execute the function based on the set parameters. 
     
     
         15 . The control method of  claim 12  wherein the first predetermined gesture is a fist, the second predetermined gesture is an open palm, the performed function is to cancel the set parameters. 
     
     
         16 . The control method of  claim 12 , wherein before analyzing whether the obtained gestures match predetermined executing gestures, the control method further comprises step of:
 determining whether the obtained gesture matches a predetermined activating gesture which is static, and   analyzing whether the obtained gestures match predetermined executing gestures when the obtained gesture matches with a predetermined activating gesture.   
     
     
         17 . The control method of  claim 16 , wherein after determining whether the obtained gesture matches a predetermined activating gesture, the control method further comprises step of:
 determining where the obtained gesture matches a predetermined exiting gesture; and   ending the executed function.
